  1.  @ReasonAboveEverything  You need welding skills? Those are some fancy guns you're making. Look up "slam fire shotgun." No tools (unless you want to get into butt stocks and such). Widely available parts. 30 minutes of shopping, 5 minutes of building, 1 hour for the glue to dry (really well). Done and done. Pump out a few hundred in your garage while your neighbor is waiting for his 3D printer to arrive in the mail.

  2. He'd have a heart attack if he knew how many people have done so...and legally.

  3.  @troyguffey  I can make a slam-fire shotgun with a couple of pieces of pipe, a cap and a BB (though, I prefer to add a washer to more easily center the BB). I've personally put over 100 rounds through one that I made for about $8, and it was long before 3D printing was a thing. Oh, and it was perfectly legal to make and own. There is no valid argument against 3D printing guns. We've already been making guns ourselves for many, many years.

  4. Plus, y'know...bullets are metal. I don't really care if people are sneaking plastic guns past metal detectors, if they can't bring their bullets.

  5.  @prismarinestars7471  Neither are hardware stores, yet they have everything you need to make a gun.

  6. And isn't it funny that he chose that talking point? After all, "the security of a free State" is the very reason that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

  7. "Nobody should be able to make guns in their own basement." Ummm....Earth to Masshole: We've ALWAYS been able to make guns in our own basements. ALWAYS. I can go out to my garage and combine two pieces of pipe, a cap, a washer and a BB right now. Know what I'll have? A perfectly legal 12 gauge shotgun.

  8.  Havla Fitta  I can make a shotgun out of two pieces of pipe from the hardware store. What are you talking about?

  9. Why not? I know a bunch of people with slam-fire shotguns and none of them are bumping over quickie marts with them. They're fun to make and shoot. It's a cheap way to make a somewhat reliable boom-stick. 3D printed guns aren't even as reliable as zip-guns. If I want a terrible way to try to send a .22 downrange, I'll drill a hole in a 2x4, shove the bullet in it and smack it with a hammer. It would be about as accurate and slightly less likely to blow up in my face.

  10. I have to say, I'd have a hard time leveling my shotgun at someone breaking into my house, if they pointed one of those at me. Have you ever tried to steady a long gun while laughing?

  11. You don't even need tools. Just a couple of pieces of pipe, a pipe cap, a washer, a BB and some JB Weld.

  12. I prefer to use a BB for the firing pin. You don't have to calibrate the depth, and over/under penetration of the primer is virtually impossible.

  13. Yep

  14.  @TheRedmondEthan  You aren't aware that we've been making zip guns and slam-fires in our own garages for...ever, are you? You don't know that it costs about $12 to have an effective 12 gauge shotgun that doesn't require any special skills or tools, do you? You are completely unaware that Federal law protects our ability to make our own firearms, aren't you? Anyone who is worried about these little, plastic pieces of junk is completely oblivious to the realities of the world they live in.
